Hype after death

Now, when local rap producers offer young KC rappers a life filled with "hits" I wonder if the young lyricists know what lies ahead. Apparently, local rapper Jermaine Hughes had a rap career moving as fast as the bullet that would eventually kill him.

However, dying isn't that bad of a move for a rapper. Tupac seems to have been very productive after his death and it hasn't managed to put an end to his CD releases yet. And the way P. Diddy keeps on mentioning Biggie every other sentence, you'd think that the guy is at his house or something, raiding his refrigerator.

Yep, the KC rap scene is booming, local acts are making a killing, KC rappers are producing one hit after the next and I'm sure all of this notoriety will lead to many more young rappers looking for their shot.

Kind of makes you long for the jazz age. Those guys only killed themselves through drug abuse and still managed to entertain people while they were doing it.
